OKay, so I have had My Tmo(USA) MDA (HTC wizard) forapproximately 13 days. Today while trying to transfer a ringtone from my old phone via bluetooth, my phone restarted and stalled during the booting. I soft-reset the device and the same thing happened, and again a third time. After which I decided to bite the bullet and do a hard-reset. After the reset the phone goes even less into the boot screen (the rainbow icon does not appear like it did before) then the screen goes dim and the device shuts off. I have called tech support at tmo to no avail, I have also tried going into bootloader mode with no response. the battery was at 60% when this started so i know this isn't a power issue.

any thoughts, input or help on this matter will be greatly appreciated.

my safegaurd is to exchange the phone tomorrow, but this is a last resort.

EXCHANGE IT! Dont wait till its too late. Just get a new one. You weren't even doing anything that would normally cause this type of result. You have nothing to loose by exchanging it, other than a little time, any data on the phone is gone anyways.

You sure you did a hard reset? I don't mean to be a jerk, and I'm not saying you don't know what your doing I am simply suggesting that you double check. Make sure you get to the black "press send to format storage, any other key to exit" and press "SEND" =)

Hope you get back up and running soon; Lew

Swap it. You weren't doing anything that could have led to YOU "bricking" it.
